The Marvels, a sequel to Brie Larson-led Captain Marvel, has begun filming. Samuel L. Jackson — he plays Nick Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — revealed Wednesday on Instagram that he would be suiting up (or rather, bearding up) to play the former SHIELD director in the second Captain Marvel movie. Jackson is a new addition to The Marvels cast, that previously included Larson as Carol Danvers/ Captain Marvel, Teyonah Parris as SWORD agent Monica Rambeau (from WandaVision), and Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan/ Ms. Marvel (from the Disney+ series Ms. Marvel).

“Guess what time it is! Back in the box, just in The Nick of time!,” Jackson wrote in a caption on Ms. Marvel.

While Jackson hadn't been officially announced as part of The Marvels cast prior to this, it makes sense he would be involved given his close connect with Danvers in the first film and ever since, and also the post-credits scene too.

Behind the scenes, Marvel Studios president and Marvel's chief creative officer Kevin Feige will serve as the sole producer. Production will take place at Pinewood Studios in the UK, and Los Angeles and New Jersey in the US.

Before The Marvels, the MCU will offer up its first Asian superhero lead in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in July 2022. Several other Marvel movies (and TV series) are also in the works.

November 11, 2022 in cinemas worldwide.
